Full Text of JOE Listing:

CEPR seeks to transform education through the power of research and evidence. CEPR conducts cutting-edge quantitative research on critical topics for the field and develops new and faster models of education research that can better support education leaders. The Postdoc will be a critical part of the CEPR team, helping education leaders around the country to learn what’s working and what’s not in education.

Our postdocs work with state agencies, districts, and education leaders to generate rigorous evidence that actually informs decisions. The Postdocs hired through this posting will either work on our States Leading States project, evaluating policies on a range of educational topics, or our new Charter Hub, examining the long-term effects of charter school enrollment as well as contemporaneous achievement effects of charter enrollment. Postdocs spend about 75% of their time on collaborative projects and 25% on their own research and publications, giving them real flexibility to develop independent work.

This is a remote-eligible/hybrid position, with a preference for in-person (3 days a week in our Cambridge office). The priority application deadline is April 3, 2026. This appointment will initially be for one year with a strong possibiliity for renewal for a second.
